Bert sugar rip

Ah bummer!!, was always a fan and loved seeing him on the ESPN classic shows, another colourful boxing character we've lost this year.

RIP

 

RIP

Sorry to hear this. He was certainly a fun character, even if I did disagree with many of his evaluations.

 

Damn, I'm so shocked all of the classic boxing faces seem to be dissappearing.

Even tho i definently didn't agree with some of what he said, he truly loved the sport and was great ambassador. RIP.

 

Wow, that´s surprising and shocking. RIP. Sad day.

 

RIP Bert. You will be hard to be replaced. Enjoy your cigars.

 

A true character of the game R.I.P.

 

It's strange, because just last night I was watching that ESPN show with Brian Kenny, where Bert Sugar was running down the list of his personal top 10 heavyweights. I never thought that today I'd hear news of his passing.
Very shocked by this...

I liked his writng a lot...some classic lines.

(On Buster Douglas) "Holyfield looked like he spent six months on a desert island, and Buster looked like he spent six months on a dessert island."

(On Richard Steele, after stopping the Tyson v Ruddock fight): "Steele looked like a fly in ointment: attracting comment and mention but hardly enjoying it."

Boxing's biggest personalities are dying off. Awful news.

RIP, Bert.

 

RIP for Bert Sugar. While not a true historian, Sugar was a boxing original. A great story teller and ambassador to the game.

 

Rip.

 

enjoyed him on the espn ringside shows rip

 

Rest in peace, Mr. Sugar.

 

RIP Bert...bought most of his books...I liked him...

 

I knew there was a reason I liked Ring Magazine during those years, and the other magazine he edited.RIP Bert.

 

A significant loss for the sport, he may of polarized views, but everyone knew of him.

 

I remember him walking around NY city with his hat and cigar, you knew it was him...he was a boxing character from the old school of Damon Runyon characters...RIP Bert Sugar
